About Asbury Thornton Rogers
- Asbury began adulthood as a schoolteacher and farmer.
- When the Civil War loomed, Asbury enlisted and was chosen as a Company Commander of CO A, 62nd Regiment of the CSA, serving under Colonel Robert Love. This regiment, after being baptized in blood on many hard-fought battlefields, was captured at Cumberland Gap, and spent twenty three months in prison at Camp Douglas, Johnson Island (near Chicago). Conditions in the prison were horrible and many died. Somewhere along the line, Asbury was promoted to Major.
- He survived Camp Douglas, made his way home after the war, married and fathered ten children. But the effects of the war and imprisonment damaged his heart and mind, and he did not live to raise his young family. Five of the children died at very young ages. His wife Lorena was a widow for 46 years, an invalid for many of the last ones.
